  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • hardened_malloc

    Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.

  • I'd go a step further and recommend https://grapheneos.org/ with a Pixel phone.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    Prometheus exporter for Windows machines

  • I think on Windows it's not only based on a missing signature. I sometimes get the "this file may damage your computer" message. There's also an "ignore" button hidden below a "more" button, but it in the end it lets you use it. But it doesn't always happen. [0]

    It's not very user friendly, but it might be a bit more intuitive than apple's special dance of click right -> open to bypass said controls.

    [0] For example, the Prometheus exporter for windows x64 is not signed and doesn't trigger the alert. I can download it (no alert) click open (no alert) and it runs . The x32 version does have a "this may damage your computer" alert in the browser (edge).
